When the two of them rushed to Qingliang City, it was really dark, and the gate of Qingliang City had been closed.

Zuo Jingtian heard that the county lord was coming, and he personally ran to open the city gate, and before he had time to shoot, Chang Yuhuan said: "Where is Qinglianghou?"

Zuo Jingtian said: "In the Hou Mansion, I didn't see him come out." If the county lord wants to see him, I will take the county lord there now. ”

Chang Yuhuan said: "No need, I can find a way, I can go by myself." ”

Zuo Jingtian asked people to bring two mortal horses and let their father and daughter change into the city.

When he arrived at the Qingliang Hou Mansion, Zuo Jingtian asked the gatekeeper to go in and report, and the county lord of Daojun asked to see him.

Chang Chuchu also dismounted and stood beside Chang Yuhuan, feeling uneasy in his heart, both expectant and nervous, his chest was like a deer crashing.

When Jiang Xiaobai heard that the county lord was visiting, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile from afar: "The county lord is really well-informed, I just returned to the Hou Mansion, and I haven't had time to visit the county lord, but the county lord himself came." ”

Chang Yuhuan hugged his fists and smiled: "During this time, I was also worried about Hou Ye, so I sent people to inquire every day, and as soon as I heard that Hou Ye was back, I immediately rushed over." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "The county lord has a heart. ”

Chang Yuhuan said: "Hou Ye has a life-saving grace for my family, what is my snack? Hou Ye is really auspicious, even the dangerous hellish lifeless sea can't trap Hou Ye, although I am looking forward to it during this time, but I really didn't expect to see Hou Ye, my heart is so excited!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "It's just luck!"

On the way here, Chang Chuchu imagined that after seeing Qinglianghou, he must have been ecstatic, like old friends who had been reunited for a long time, greeting each other with a big grin, and there was no trace of estrangement between them. It is also possible that she will not be able to control herself, throw herself into his arms and cry, and complain about the pain of missing. But when I really saw him, my heart was timid, although Qinglianghou hadn't changed at all, he still looked like he was on Wusheng Island, but he felt a lot more rusty, and called weakly: "Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Miss Chang is here too! I haven't seen her for a month, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight, this is too unreasonable, is it possible that the food in Chengdao County is not as good as on Wusheng Island?"

Chang Chuchu wants to say, but it's not because he thinks about it. But after all, I didn't have the courage to say it.

However, her father was considerate of her, and said: "Since Hou Ye was trapped in the Wusheng Sea, my family Chu Chu was worried about Hou Ye, and after coming back, she didn't think about tea and dinner, she also erected an immortal card for Hou Ye in the palace, and knelt in front of the card every day to pray for Hou Ye, and he didn't sleep, so it was inevitable to lose a little weight." ”

Chang Chuchu now found that he liked his father more and more, and the words he said were especially to her appetite, as if he had taught him himself, although it made her a little shy, her face was flushed, and she lowered her head.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Miss Chang has a heart, but it makes me feel sorry for me." ”

Chang Chuchu raised his head and said hurriedly: "As long as Brother Jiang can come back alive, I am willing to do anything." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Thank you Miss Chang!" and said, "Lord Chang, go and sit in the house." ”

Chang Yuhuan nodded, and entered the door with Jiang Xiaobai.

When they arrived in the living room, they sat down as guests of honor, and Jiang Xiaobai let people serve tea.

At this time, Fengyan was idle and bored, and also ran over.

When Chang Chuchu saw Feng Yan, he didn't feel unfamiliar, and said with a smile: "Feng Yan, I didn't expect you to come back alive?"

Feng Yan glanced at her and said, "What are you kidding? You see that my Feng Yan Yin Hall is full, and I am almost protruding when I am full, at first glance, I am a rich and noble person, I have more than a dozen lives on my body for backup, how can I die so easily?"

Chang Chuchu smiled: "You just brag, no one will see it anyway!"

Fengyan said: "You go to Qingliang City to inquire, up to eighty-three, down to the hand, who doesn't know that my Fengyan is honest and reliable, Tong Su is not deceitful, and the words spoken are like being sunburned, without a little moisture, will brag to you?"

Chang Chuchu smiled and said, "You'll be flamboyant!" I wondered in my heart, why these two people haven't changed, they are both people who have been with her on Lifeless Island for nearly a year, why is one still familiar like a friend, but the other makes her feel a little rusty? She was afraid of this unfamiliarity, and remembered the scene of combing Qinglianghou's hair in the cave, which was as far away as a dream.

At this time, Chang Yu Huan said: "Dare to ask how Hou Ye came out of the Endless Sea?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Smuggled out." ”

Although Chang Yuhuan didn't know the true meaning of smuggling, it was literally estimated that he came out secretly by ferry, and as for the details, he didn't ask either, and said: "Hou Ye is really a strange person! I don't know about Hou Ye's return, does the court know?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I shouldn't know, I didn't inform anyone." ”

Chang Yuhuan said: "Then what should Master Hou do?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I don't have any plans, just ask the county lord to report the news of my return." ”

Chang Yuhuan said: "But Lord Hou should know that in the eyes of the imperial court, you should have died in the Lifeless Sea." ”

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned: "Could it be that the imperial court knows that I am coming back, and it still wants to kill me?"

Chang Yuhuan said: "I came today and brought bad news to Hou Ye, Hou Ye can refer to it first." As he spoke, he took out the decree from his bosom, got up and handed it over.

Jiang Xiaobai looked puzzled, slowly opened the holy decree, Feng Yan also leaned his head over, and saw that the holy decree read:

"Back then, Qingliang Marquis Wuwei accompanied Emperor Taizu to conquer the east and west, conquer the south and fight in the north, and made great contributions to the Zhongxia Empire. It's a pity that his descendants do nothing, don't know how to cherish, don't want to forge ahead, and spend extravagantly, especially the current Qingliang Hou Jiang Xiaobai, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, doing all kinds of evil, fish and meat in the township, making the people's grievances boiling, it is really humiliating to the country, and I am ashamed of the grace of the saints. Chin!"

After Jiang Xiaobai finished reading it, his fists clenched so loudly that he even breathed a lot heavier, if it was because he died in the Lifeless Sea that he took away his title, it would be understandable, but the reason for cutting the knighthood is so unsightly, if it is posted in the world, not only will it disgrace the ancestors, but what will he face in the future? After all, he is no longer the shameless Qingliang Hou he used to be. Angry, he slammed his fist on the table, and the table shattered to the ground.

Chang Yuhuan was startled and said, "Master Hou is angry!"

Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth and said: "I can't stop this anger, the Dog Emperor deceived people too much, when he first ascended the throne, he actually took Ben Hou to open the knife, really think that Ben Hou is a soft persimmon?"

Chang Yuhuan exclaimed: "Master Hou also knows that the new emperor has ascended the throne?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Not only do I know that the new emperor has ascended the throne, but I also know that his throne is usurped, and his name is not right. ”

Chang Yuhuan was taken aback and said, "Master Hou can't say anything nonsense, if it is heard by outsiders, he will lose his head." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "The Dog Emperor cut off my title, disgraced my ancestors, and made me angry more than cutting off my head." ”

Chang Yuhuan said: "Then what is the plan of Master Hou?"

Jiang Xiaobai's mind calmed down a little, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Since the Dog Emperor asked me to hand over the Sulan Sword, it seems that he didn't know that I went to the Wusheng Sea, and Han Hou probably didn't mention it to him. ”

Chang Yuhuan nodded and said: "It should be, otherwise the new emperor won't have to slander the Hou Ye anymore, it's too much." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since he doesn't know, since I have never been to Wushenghai, the county lord doesn't have to report the news of my return, the tree is a big tree, and now my tree has even been dug up by someone, and the wind can't withstand it, so it is not suitable to publicize it." ”

Chang Yuhuan said: "This is easy to do, self-improvement, except for Han Hou, no one knows that Hou Ye has been to Wushenghai, as long as Han Hou doesn't say it, no one will know about it." After a pause, he said, "Then what about this holy decree?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "You just do it." ”

Chang Yuhuan looked embarrassed and said, "This is not very good, right?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I don't blame you, you are just doing business!" took out the Su Lan Sword from the storage ring and threw it at him.

Chang Yuhuan caught Su Lan's sword, and he was a little at a loss.

Jiang Xiaobai said coldly: "Don't worry, you can hand over this Sulan Sword for the time being, and sooner or later I will get it back with my own hands." ”

Chang Yuhuan was shocked: "You want to rebel?"

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes became deep, and he sneered, but he didn't speak.

Chang Yuhuan only felt a chill down his spine, and said: "Master Hou, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, it's just a false name, why force it? Peace and security is true!"

Chang Chuchu also said: "That is, even if you are not Qinglianghou, no one dares to look down on you, otherwise I will not be the first to spare him." ”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "It seems that the Qingliang Hou Mansion has been silent for too long. ”

Chang Yuhuan looked at his resolute eyes, and knew that persuasion was also in vain, and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I don't have any plans at the moment, let's take one step at a time." ”

Chang Yuhuan said: "If you need anything, just tell me." ”

Jiang Xiaobai hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, county lord!"

Chang Yuhuan said: "Whether you are Hou Ye or not, you and I don't have to be polite in the future, since I have seen Hou Ye's courage and courage in Wushenghai, I am a pasty empowerment, being timid and afraid of things is never a good way to solve the problem, no matter what you do, I will support you." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "It seems that I have indeed seen something out of the box when I say thank you, and Xiaobai will always remember the words of the county lord." ”

Chang Yuhuan nodded and said, "Anyway, you have to be careful yourself, if you have anything, just come to me, just like your own family." It's not too early now, and I'm going back. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "The county lord came from afar, and it was extremely hard, so it was better to spend the night here and then leave." ”

Chang Yuhuan shook his head and said, "There have been too many things in the past two days, I have to rush back." Picking up the Su Lan sword, he got up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first and come back another day." He turned his head and said, "Chu Chu, let's go!"

Chang Chuchu looked reluctant and said, "Dad, I want to go to see my grandmother, I want to stay at her house for two days!"

Chang Yu Huan was stunned: "You didn't come when I begged you to come before, when did you become so filial?"

Chang Chuchu's face turned red and said, "Anyway, I just miss her old man!"

How could Chang Yuhuan not know her thoughts, pursed his lips and nodded, and said, "Then you are conscious, don't let me urge, and go back by yourself in two days." ”

Chang Chu said happily: "Daddy, don't worry, I promise to go back consciously in two days." ”

Chang Yuhuan nodded and left.
